House Passes FY 2002
Foreign Aid Appropriations Conference Bill

(December 19, 2001)

The House approved the fiscal
year 2002 foreign aid bill by a vote of 357-66.
The $15.3 billion spending bill provides Israel
with $2.04 billion in military aid and $720
million in financial assistance. The bill
also includes provisions recommending that
sanctions be imposed against the Palestinian
Authority if the President determines
that it has failed to comply with its commitments
to halt terrorism and end incitement. Once
the Senate passes the bill—it is expected
to vote this week—the legislation will go
to the President for his signature. Thank
your member of the House for voting for the
final passage of the bill.
